ALM Model Developer
This is what you will do
My client is looking for a colleague who has developed a successful career in Financial Risk Management and wants to keep developing.
You will become responsible for developing models that are deeply integrated in our business model (pricing, hedging, funding) and have impacts across global balance sheet (Net Interest Income, Economic Value and Capital Requirements). The ALM models cover global customer lending products (e.g. mortgages, Wholesale Banking, mid-corps and SME Lending) and global customer deposits products (current accounts, savings).
You will perform this responsibility in one of their five squads (two squads are based in Poland). Your main task is to ensure ALM models lead to a stable Net Interest Income and accurate capital requirements. The models are largely dependent on client behavior, so you will monitor and model the behavior and spot emerging trends using big data analytics. Because ALM models are deeply integrated in the company a lot of stakeholders are involved. That is why a good mix of planning, stakeholder management, convincing and technical skills are important for us. Moreover, as ALM models are supervised by regulators, knowledge of regulatory developments is a must.
This is you
- An academic degree (MSc or PhD), quantitative studies such as Econometrics, Mathematics, Engineering & Physics
- Finished additional professional qualifications in the financial risk field such as CFA, FRM, or the willingness to do so
- Relevant experience in the financial sector (e.g. banking, insurance, consulting)
